Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected
to the TV (i.e., an antenna or cable system).
Memorizing Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable channels. 
After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan through the channels. 
This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: 
selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (channel manager).
Selecting the Video Signal Source
1
Press the MENUbutton. Press the  or  button to select “Channel”, 
then press the
ENTERbutton.
2
Press the  or  button to select “Antenna”, then press the ENTERbutton.
Press the  or  button to select “Air” or “Cable”, then press the 
ENTER
button. 
3
Press the  or  button to select “Auto Program”, then press the ENTER
button.

Contact your local cable company to identify the type of cable system
that exists in your particular area.
At this point the signal source has been selected.
• The TV must be connected to air/cable in order to receive digital 
TV signals. Even if a particular channel is deleted from the memory, 
you can always tune to that channel directly by using the number buttons 
on the remote control.
• When connecting Digital Cable to a Set-Top Box, Channel Memorization is 
done on the STB.
To view the STB on your TV, select the Input jack the STB is connected to 
with the 
SOURCEbutton on the remote control. (see page 32)
All available DTV and analog channels are automatically stored in memory.
